AVOID DISCRIMINATION
That the people living in the
vicinity of the Queen Hotel protest
against the use of that centrally
looated place for a quarantine elation
is natural perhaps but we do not
think that there is muoh sense in
their objections
What we kick against is the dis
crimination shown by the Board of
Health a policy which may prove
dangerous eventually
Why should speoial considerations
and provisions be made for one Ha
waiian not granted to another Mr
Boardman is not a white man as
stated by the officials and by their
organs He 1b a native Hawaiian
and we fail to see why any special
consideration should be given to
him which has been refused to Mrs
Ahlo Mrs PaiWo and other promi
nent Hawaiians who have been re
fused permission even to build their
own cottages at the detention camps
at Kalihi and Kaknako
No cases have been reported in
the places oooupied by these ladies
Their houes have been burnt be
cause they were within the con
demned districts and all they Asked
was to be allow to quarantine them
selves within the detention camps
and being allowed to live in the
atyle they are accustomed to
Mr Boardman with whom we all
have the greatest sympathy in bis
sore affliction lived in the house in
which a case of plague occurred
and yet he is given a privilege which
has been absolutely refused to
others who have been segregated
on less provocation
We do not understand the drift
of the policy of the Board of Health
in this instance and the Chinese
Japanese and Hawaiians cannot for
a moment see the justice in pro
viding special quarters for one Ha
waiian and others for men and women
holding as high a standing and class
in the community as enjoyed by this
favored man
Dr Wood is full of energy and as
a rule of good onmmon sense but be
certainly must know that all possi
ble show of discrimination should
too avoided now more than everThe
farce of a quarantine at the Arling
ton and in regard to those booked
to leave by the Australia may be
very correot and not fraught with
dinger but the Chinese and others
who are being victimized by the
plague do not look at it in that
light
Treat all alike and dont bother
about whether our unfortunate citi
zens are white or Hawaiians or
Chinese or Japanese The Board of
Health should deal only with MAN

Home Along
Home along home along
Oer the world weve wandered
Wnudered far and wandered wide
We were born to roam
Each has had his heritage
Treasured Bold or squandered
All have hoppd some madly hoped
To win back home
Piteous toll our band has paid
Part to day are sleeping
Where perpetual summer holds
Undisputed away
Others where the northern pines
Sentinel are keeping
Laid them down to dream of home
Dreaming passed away
Curlews call the moorland mist
Fairj dells of De7on
Channel breeze and brackens breath
Fragrance of the may
Seen the best that earth can give
Lifes completest heaven
Haunt aud draw us home again
Half a world away
Home along home along
Oh our hearts are yearning
And we fain would rest awhile
And nor would farther roam
Dreaming of one sweet Jost face
Waiting our returning
Listening to a loved lost voice
Whispering of home

warriors of the village put 00 their
war paint while Captain Freeman

Cooper went on board the U S S
Pathfinder and there he met a com
mittee of the villagers He inform
ed them that Andrews was pau as
an agent of the Board of Health
cheers thatgthe U S had decided
to land the donkeys and mules en
route for Manila in Hilo owing to
the afinity between the villagers
and the animals loud oheering and
that all precautions would be taken
tto prevent any more plague without
permission of tliB Hiloites and the
building by local contractors of a
Post Office Hear hear I
The Einau then landed her
freight the villagers apd Cooper
